Let’s Talk

In this episode, we talk about how colonial laws, imported religious ideas, and rigid social structures have shaped how homophobia is defended today. We also talk about how culture is used as a weapon, the difference between heritage and control, and the real harm that happens when intolerance is presented as tradition. Culture is not cruelty; it is language, stories, music, community, and strength.

As a gay African man, this is important to me. What's going on in Senegal and Uganda isn't random, it's not isolated, and it's not just about culture. It's a political strategy. When governments are pressured from problems such as economic hardship, unemployment, or corruption, moral panic can be a useful strategy. Fear takes over, laws get stricter, arrests happen, and queer people are made easy targets. This is because when a state decides who is criminal, it rarely stops at one group.
